Wall object "The Crossaint" made of Japanese pagoda tree

Short description:

In this wall object, the annual rings are made even more prominent by additional carving of the grain. The grain was individually traced using a notched carving chisel, which results in a special feel. The structure and lighting effect of the object changes depending on the incidence of light and the viewing angle. The diameter is approx. 44 cm.

Materials:

Despite its exotic name, the wood of the Japanese pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum) comes from Europe. Originally native to Japan and China, the pagoda tree was introduced to Europe in the 16th century and is now a popular park and street tree. The open-pored wood is characterized by a clear color contrast between early and late wood.
